Suzanne Vega

American singer-songwriter known for her eclectic folk-inspired music. Her songs juxtapose acoustic guitar-driven melodies with coolly synthesized beats and intensely personal lyrics with compelling, short story narratives. Two of Vega's songs (both from her second album Solitude Standing, 1987) reached the top 10 of various international chart listings: "Luka" and "Tom's Diner"
